Note the sign over the group. When we took this photo, there was a Muslem priest who was just spewing poison in a shouting tone over the public address system in downtown Nazareth. We had no idea what he was saying--he was speaking in Arabic, but he was definitely angry. We were amazed at the signs that hung in the city. The Muslem world is very upset about the Pope's visit. He is scheduled to speak at a large ampitheatre in the city in the morning. People will start going into the line with their tickets at 0200 and will file in until 0800 when the gates will be closed. BBC news is supposed to film from the courtyard in our Hotel--St. Gabriel's Hotel. It is at the highest point in the city. Forth-fifty thousand people are expected in the ampitheatre.
